How can I implement a progress bar in a pop-up window that monitors the progress of a running function from a so-called Worker class (i.e. time
Based on eyllanesc's answer, this is how a working code could look:
import sys
import time
from PyQt5.QtCore import QThread, pyqtSignal, QObject, pyqtSlot
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QPushButton, QWidget, QHBoxLayout, QProgressBar, QVBoxLayout
class MainWindow(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.setWindowTitle("Widget")
self.h_box = QHBoxLayout(self)
self.main_window_button = QPushButton("Start")
self.popup = PopUpProgressB() # Creating an instance instead as an attribute instead of creating one
# everytime the button is pressed
self.main_window_button.clicked.connect(self.popup.start_progress) # To (re)start the progress
self.h_box.addWidget(self.main_window_button)
self.setLayout(self.h_box)
self.show()
class Worker(QObject):
finished = pyqtSignal()
intReady = pyqtSignal(int)
@pyqtSlot()
def proc_counter(self): # A slot takes no params
for i in range(1, 100):
time.sleep(0.1)
self.intReady.emit(i)
self.finished.emit()
class PopUpProgressB(QWidget):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.pbar = QProgressBar(self)
self.pbar.setGeometry(30, 40, 500, 75)
self.layout = QVBoxLayout()
self.layout.addWidget(self.pbar)
self.setLayout(self.layout)
self.setGeometry(300, 300, 550, 100)
self.setWindowTitle('Progress Bar')
# self.show()
self.obj = Worker()
self.thread = QThread()
self.obj.intReady.connect(self.on_count_changed)
self.obj.moveToThread(self.thread)
self.obj.finished.connect(self.thread.quit)
self.obj.finished.connect(self.hide) # To hide the progress bar after the progress is completed
self.thread.started.connect(self.obj.proc_counter)
# self.thread.start() # This was moved to start_progress
def start_progress(self): # To restart the progress every time
self.show()
self.thread.start()
def on_count_changed(self, value):
self.pbar.setValue(value)
if __name__ == '__main__':
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
main_window = MainWindow()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
